Hi, boys and girls! Did you know that soon we'll be having the greatest holiday in the entire world? No, silly, not Arbor Day. It's Free Comic Book Day!

Now, you're probably asking yourself "What the hell is free comic book day, and why did you say 'free manga?'" Well, see. In the eyes of the industry . . . and more intelligent fans (come on, guys. Separating them because of what country they come from? Really dumb) manga and comics are the same thing. So when FCBD rolls around, I'd be very surprised if, among the free stuff given out, there wasn't a bit of manga here and there. At the very least, Tokyopop and Viz have been known to release samplers fior the event.

Now you're asking yourself "Well, great . . . when is it?" Well, that's easy enough. It's going to be on May 7th of this year at comic book stores all over.

"How do I know where to go?" Another easy question . . . Diamond distributor has a nifty Locator right here.

I know they gave away free manga last year. I got some issue of that show that's like Yugioh (damn... slips my mind ATM). Gonna have to keep that date in mind. Hopefully, they'll give away some manga this year too. 3nodding

Trying my damnest not to look like a bump... :minisweat:
